Goal

This document describes how to change a password for a user on the RSC card. Also, if needed, how to create a new user or delete a user.

Solution

Steps to Follow
To see what user accounts have been made for the RSC card use the usershow command from the Operating Environment:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm usershow
username            permissions        password

 frank                cuar               Assigned

This shows one user name of frank. That user has the permissions of cuar and has a password.

To create a new account with full permissions 3 commands would be run in this order:

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm useradd 
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userperm  cuar
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userpassword

Example:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm useradd foobar
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userperm foobar cuar
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userpassword foobar
Password:
Re-enter Password:
# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm usershow
username            permissions        password
--------            -----------        --------
frank               cuar               Assigned
foobar              cuar               Assigned
#

If a user forgot their password it can be over written by just making a new password again:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userpassword foobar
Password:
Re-enter Password:

With the new password made the user would now be able to log into the RSC card.

If a user needed to be deleted the command would be:

# /usr/platform/`uname -i`/rsc/rscadm userdel foobar

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have an account on the RSC and want to create accounts this can be done similarly:

rsc> usershow
Username         Permissions      Password
frank            cuar             Assigned

rsc> useradd foobar
rsc> userperm foobar cuar
rsc> userpassword foobar
New password:
Re-enter new password:

rsc> usershow
Username         Permissions      Password
frank            cuar             Assigned
foobar           cuar             Assigned

To remove a user:

rsc> userdel foobar
